    All those preorders cancelled bc they lied about the price and the quality doesn’t match. Tesla was doing fine until the CEO got involved. Idk why those assholes wanted to give him billions of dollars as a bonus. Just absurd.

      they probably want his name to be still have some recognition, because Xitter is a very useful tool for the right to control the supporters, that is more valuable than tesla.

      I wish the article would tell us how many units instead, for this very reason.

        Last I remember they sold for $80k, plus that makes the math trivial, so… 10000 vehicles?

          Wow that has so much more impact to me, I can really visualise the endless parking lots full of them.

          No, we don’t want the article to make us read. We want the article to grab our heads, pull our ears out and talk the information directly into our faces. You know, “tell us.”

      $0 worth

      I’d be willing to pay that for a cyberdump. Wouldn’t mind the pubic lovingly trashing it either. It even traps passengers while burning like a complimentary self-cleaning oven feature. The disposal fee might be a bitch.

      On further thought, it might not be worth it.

    No wonder they’re begging police departments to buy them.

      A part of me wants the police to have them so they can be a cluster fuck for them to maintain.

      Unfortunately, they’ll maintain it with my tax dollars.

      I guess they’re worth the money spent to make them? But yeah, it’s just a pile of trash. I can’t believe I still see so many on the road. I do live in a reddish hell though

      The stock price isn’t an accurate representation of the worth of the company. It’s an accurate representation of the amount of bullshit the company CEO is filled with.

      The economy is based on vibes and not the true value. However that doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed to borrow against those vibes, to avoid taxes.

        There should be ways to elegantly conceal the obscenity of a cybertruck, if we’re talking about a picturesque garden .
